Causeway Studios Co-Founder/Creative Director Greg Rogers and Art Director Brianna Jenkins visited the ARTeacher Fellowship to lead a workshop on “The Art of Game Play and Game Design.”

Looking at both video games, tabletop games, and RPGs, Rogers and Jenkins discussed how different artistic and aesthetic elements are brought to bear in creating a game (whether through graphics/artwork, storytelling, board design, etc.) and how those artistic choices can influence how the game is played and its success as an activity. Fellows were then each tasked with designing a learning game for their classroom, and even having students design their own games with creative decision-making in mind!
